Re: Soil testing



The real answer to all the usual soil tests is that they are, for organic
growers, a hypocrisy to use.

Because they are based on ion absorption, as though root hairs are bare
"fingers" sitting in a soil solution of ions from chemical fertiizers.

Plants do not deal with ions, but with molecules. Root hairs are not in
contact with the soil solution, as they are immersed in a thick coating of
mucigel, in which are millions of soil organisms. These organisms work
over, breaking down and building up, both, and they pass on to the root
hairs the molecules or particles which the root hairs can take in and pass
on to the tissues within the root.

Therefore ION ABSORPTION, on which such testing is made, is totally
worthless for organic growers, becaue it is based on "cation exchange
capacity, CEC", which makes a simplicity out of lies: that root hairs just
exchange ions with soil particles onto which ions cling.

This process of taking in whole molecules or masses of molecules which are
particles, is endocytosis.
    THIS IS THE SAME PROCESS BY WHICH YOUR OWN TISSUES ABSORB.  

This was shown by Wallingham and Pastan at NIH, and the fact that such
endocytosis is the same process of nutrient absorption in plants was shown
by researchers such in Canada, USDA ARS, Germany, and England.

You can see their electron microscope photos that prove this, in the
relevant literature by these researchers, or in my book, where I copied
the photos (by permission), and that book is ORGANIC METHOD PRIMER UPDATE,
which costs $125 and is the most comprehensive book in the world on the
subject.
